I think most still do. They just do it at the detriment of the rest of the people now.

I just use Lizard Kings. Works out great!

Civil ? I was not civil ? Thats double arrogance BB I never said you weren't. (But Mekong sure was not.)

No. Re read what I wrote. And again, I know it is hard to do, but try NOT to think of it like your personal financial decisions. These are nation states.

I think this topic needs a thread of its own. Should it start with a quick overview of history of the world since 1900? http://www.thai360.com/fbb/showtopic.php?fid/41/tid/540065/pid/882112/post/last/#LAST Try to be civil.

It is. The military Industry complex cant fight (or hold a candle to) the Media which only makes money when it exposes it. That is they beauty of the current system. Everyone is out to get the evil do'er. So they dont last very long.

You know... I am from The South, and I have never heard of the game the OP talked about. You? A human fights the bird? How do you get the birds to attack a man....?

It's not. Just takes a look at world economics from a non-reactionary position over the past say 2 centuries. But you also have to temper that look with the knowledge rules that you and I have to follow as private citizens do not and have never applied to nation states. Note: I never said it was wise. I just said it is done and is not "very unstable." Try to look at it from the other side. What would be the benefit from the US owing the world a lot of money.... (Take a bit to think about it. I'll tell you if you need me to, but I bet you can see it after a few mins... if that long!)

It that an illegal sport in Isaan?

The Arrogance of that quote FUCK OFF HOME YANKIES we didn't ask for or need you intervention Gung Ho Assholes You should be more pissed off at the truth of it. I am. I would love an isolationist America.

But as obviously you have a clue' date=' would you mind explaining the numbers then ? BB[/quote'] Sure. Governments dont work like normal people do, so you can not compare the two which is what you are doing. The US has been a debtor nation since the beginning. And it almost always will be as long as it has to pay to defend the rest of you. The thing is, push comes to shove, that debt is just paper and can be nullified with the stroke of a pen. Again, nation states dont work by the same rules the rest of us have to. Just ask China.

No... I'm saying you obviously have no clue what you are talking about.

WaaaHahahahahah!!!!! {breath} HAHahahahahahahaha..!!!!

And I keep telling you, you are more free here than any where else. You cant make it in the US? Where you gonna go? Have fun trying it in China!

A big one. They gonna stop serving people for being say... black next?

Ok so? Again, nothing we did not know. Why is this not a different thread by the way?

So? He said nothing new.

You know that all came out the first time in 2005 right?

No it's not.

Simple answer.... Lack of money. Hence the grants.

You've been gong too long. A foreign language is manditory in just about all schools now..

And oil negotiations!

Well, it is also likely that the program is set up to pay for learning opportunities that a local system could just not get or other wise pay for. You see it for computer training all the time in the rural south. I dont think a language class in and of it self is a bad thing. Hell, I WISH my local school had a Thai class back when I was in school! Would anyone be pitching a fit is say they were teaching German or Italian?

In that districts defense, if it is a grant... then they APPLIED for it.

[color:red]In the South, foreign auto plants are all non-union.[/color] So they don't have to provide UAW benefits, including their health insurance plans. WRT the Canadian trade agreement, that is old news. What is not old news is how quickly medical costs have risen at US based UAW plants, and how it is still at zero in Canadian UAW plants. Worth close to $20k per worker in cost savings. So while Detroit dies on the vine, factories in Windsor continue to not only do well, but expand I'd say "back to you HH", but I have obviously offended his California pension-sucking chicken shit ass, and he has put me on ignore. Gee, i am soooo offended. The foreign plants on US soil also make profits which get shuffled back to the homeland, not the USA. And pay millions of $$$$ in salaries, shipping, health care, ect. And were all built after 1990. Funny how you forget that.
